Rain Cycle

.A bicyclist in Forest Park dodges the rain showers that rolled through the area yesterday. There is a tornado watch in effect as I write this on Saturday night. I've been in St. Louis more than 40 years and I've never seen one, fortunately, but they've been around the area many times. Mrs. C is from rural Kansas and she's never seen one. She actually has a sister named Dorothy who still lives in Kansas but, sadly, does not have a dog names Toto. She has a husband named Bill.

I'm hoping to shoot the annual Earth Day Festival in the park today. The forecast looks dicey but even if it doesn't rain Sunday the area should be slop. Break out the Wellies.

A truly lovely shot. Perfectly framed of course and with such a good atmosphere. Spring, damp from the earlier rain with the eye drawn to the bicycle, the rider and beyond to the end of the vista. beautiful Bob.

I'm a freelance reporter and I'm looking for any info on hot and spicy news stories surrounding business in downtown. Does anyone reading this blog know anything about the following:1. Old Navy opening a store near Locust & 10th2. A major preschool/kindergarten opening at 11th & Olive3. BJC making an offer to purchase Downtown Urgent Care4. A work/live theme at the LaSalle building, where each floor is 3,000 sf.5. Club Fitness opening near 8th & Olive or 8th & Locust

If you know about any of these, please post your contact info on this blog, and I'll email you directly. I have a substantial budget for reliable information. Thanks.
